I purchased this but how do you mount it on the axle. Single screw doesn't seem to hold up the flag vertically. Is there an attachment for this?

On a bike you remove the nut that holds the axle to the frame (opposite of the gear cogs), put the mount on the thread and then put the nut back on and tighten it down. It will not move if you do it right.

We put my dad's in a tube fixed to the inside of his basket on his electric scooter. That way he can reach in front of him to connect and disconnect the second piece.

You should be able to mount it on a horizontal bar (which I haven't tried). The holder does rotate on plastic gear teeth, like a ratchet.

I took a very small bit and drilled the divot a tiny bit deeper, not all the way through. Now the divot is deep enough to catch and support the flag and keep it from flopping over.

Ehh, I bought one, but had to monkey-rig, re-tap the top ball.If I went to Home Depot I could have probably gotten the correct thread, but I pieced togehter what I had. The problem is that the socket/thread on the top of the pole is a non-standard thread (Coarse v Fine). I somehow got it to work. Not 'textbook' but i like the flagpole in all other ways that I ignore this problem :(

It doesn't hitch to the axle exactly, but uses the nut or quick release lever of the axle to secure it to the rear fork. I think if you tried to attach anywhere else you'd find the hitch arm isn't long enough

no you cannot! it requires some type of rail system to be able to mount it! at least the one i have

Taps right into the round end of the axle. Use a block of wood or rubber mallet and line up, very easy. Go to YouTube and there are videos showing how to install.

when in the tow hitch it sticks out about 1' and it's about 1 1/2' tall. it's a solid flag holder because the base is tall. i use a 20' telescoping flagpole which has about a 1 1/2"-2" base. you can go bigger or smaller due to the screw that allows it to hold the pole in place. (you might want to use some sort of spacer for smaller poles.) but i highly recommend this holder. works great!

I believe it's post mount only. I do not see a way to hang it, although I'm sure you could drill a screw in to the top.

You COULD modify it, but I would not recommend it. I had one in a protected location, and I drilled it and put eye bolts in to hold a second flag. It was OK, but I used lightweight flags, and as I wrote, it was a protected (from the wind) location. It is meant for one flag, though.

you would have to fashion some kind of a bracket for it. The only apparent way for this to be fastened is the foot mount.

It comes with all hardware shown in picture. You willl reuse your lower bolt that mounts it to axle. You will need to buy a drill bit to enlarge the track bar mount at the frame

I am also confused . . there is a small ring that is supposed to slip over the top (I think) but I'll have to force it on. Also the flag we bought has grommets but they are too small to go over the pole. This pole looks sturdy enough, but not very usable. :(

Hi Shane. It has a hole on the bottom for a male adaptor to screw onto a mount. I used the Justin clamp with it to swivle it. Hope that helps.

I mounted mine to an octagon box. Anyone at Home Depot could help you out with this.

No silly questions here, just honest answers. No, there is no real instructions on how to mount this unit, but most applications have been installed horizontally, not vertically. Mine uses a couple of rather large hose clamps with a cushioned "V" bracket to hold it in place.

If you already have the box, why not just buy a cheap malbox with a flag and a 1/4-20 bolt with 2 fender washers and a locknut and just drill a hole andmount it? Or you could probably use a short lag screw to go only into inbetween the first and 2nd layer or just construction glue a piece of wood to mount it with a normal screw. Pretty expensive upgrade if you have a box that is the same without it. The flag really is just a plastic piece that is not really flag shaped-it's more like a long rectangle with the ends sanded off. Nothing fancy. Unless your box is worn out or something, I'd say just do a flag for it somehow.Good luck!
